Environmental Sustainability Consulting

Mere regulatory compliance is no longer sufficient. Today's companies aspire to, and increasingly must, contribute to the transition towards circular economy and overall sustainability. The concept of environmental sustainability can be multifaceted, but the Bruntland Report (United Nations, 1987) offers a clear definition: development that addresses the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Environmental sustainability is thus a process that supports both economic growth and the protection of human health and environment.

To ensure all these aspects, Europe is increasingly intervening with binding or voluntary legislative instruments that must be known and managed. But Europe is not the only actor in this process, as specific production chains are also proposing new development and market models.

With its consultancy, Normachem assists companies in assessing their environmental impacts and supporting them in a process that can sustain their economic growth, ensuring the protection of human health and environment.
In particular, we offer support to companies to:

• Assess their compliance with the applicable provisions and, if necessary, undertake compliance paths;
• Identify their areas for improvement and development, taking into account voluntary standards or applicable certifications;
• Assess the environmental impacts of their products and processes.

Our main focus areas:

• LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
• Ecolabel, EPD, CAM certifications
• Environmental labeling and Green Claims
• ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals)
• Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
• DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) criteria
• Chemicals management

We believe it is essential to help companies navigate the multitude of regulations, certifications and voluntary initiatives that allow them to improve (and subsequently communicate) their sustainability performance.
